Whatever I have not yet learned to tolerate in myself inevitably will appear in my children. In this way, they, like Julia, guide me to a new level of self-awareness and everyone benefits.

I'm happy about the fact that my audience is very open to new music. They're dying for new music. So all I got to do is get up there and show them what I'm doing, and they go oh yeah, I like that.

It's interesting to see how acoustic guitars are emerging as a primary instrument once again ... reminds me very much of what Jim Messina and I were doing back then. You can't get too far away from an acoustic guitar

If I don't stay creative and if I don't stay in the studio and keep writing and recording, I get kind of depressed. I can't quite remember what I'm supposed to be doing with myself.

My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.

The more honest you can be, the less you have to hide... when I have nothing to hide, I have everything to give.
